Hi
ILUGC moderators: I do not understand why theres such a venomous outpour
once we say a company is involved. I expect volunteers to be treated better
than with a suspicious tone like the one used here. I hope you will respond
back and encourage volunteers instead of stifling them.
First to start with
a) I am not a ILUGC moderator but a ordinary member .
b) there is no venomous outpour, it is just requesting.
c) IMHO there is no rules here to say where the volunteering ends and
where the company advertisement starts and hence requested the speaker to
focus on the software and not on the company. It is just a request.
d) Many volunteers who hinted of 'TOP POSTING' are been treated as rule
enforcers by some, at this instance such so called 'enforcer' vanished
either losing interest or in fear of getting branded as 'rule enforcers'.
I am not sure the following will be felt stifling that asking where is the
url to the source and what is the license. The reason for asking is that it
will help the attendees to go through the code and be prepared for the
session and clear the doubts and share their ideas of expansion.
e) my personal take is announcing the code in public license and then
coming to the community will serve mutual benefit.
Doing the other way is putting the cart before the horse.
Those are my expectation as a member.
best regards,
Thyagarajan Shanmugham.
